Aerial Hammock (Silk Fit)
Aerial hammock combines a traditional yoga style workout with the aerial hammock. It is designed to be beneficial to students of all experience levels. No previous aerial, acrobatic or yoga experience necessary.
How is aerial hammock different from traditional yoga:
- The support of the hammock/sling allows deeper, easier stretching than doing the stretch on the floor. Releases achieved in the air allow students to explore much deeper stretches in their traditional yoga postures without the compression of the joints and spine present on the floor.
- Challenging traditional yoga postures such as inversions and deep backbends can be achieved with less effort and without strain with the use of the Aerial hammock/sling for support.
- For those who need additional challenge, balances in the air take such postures as tree and eagle a step beyond anything experienced on the floor.
- The hammock or sling can be used for strengthening moves much like any suspension system as well as providing an interesting variation on traditional Pilates exercises done in the hammock.
- Savasana (relaxation pose) in the cocoon of the hammock provides a new sense of freedom and peace.
How you should dress for class: Please wear clothing that is form fitting and covers at least the back of the knee and the armpit. (This is to protect from chaffing caused by the hammock material rubbing on the skin.)
Please do NOT wear jewelry: This can damage the hammock fabric. If you wish to leave on a ring, please wrap it in sport tape to protect the hammock. Plain wedding bands with no stone may be left on with no cover.
